How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Consulting Services Contract in New York

In 2025, a business in New York sought assistance with reviewing a one-page consulting services contract related to capital raising for a private security opportunity. The client aimed to ensure that the compensation structure outlined in the agreement complies with U.S. securities licensing requirements, given their lack of SEC/FINRA licensing. It was crucial for the client to have confidence that all terms and provisions were above board as they prepared to assist with capital formation as an investor relations professional. As a result, the client received five proposals from qualified lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $700. All proposals were submitted to meet the client’s deadline of less than one week, providing timely support for their urgent needs.
